Young child with dreamsDream ev'ry dream on your ownWhen children playSeems like you end up alonePapa says he'd love to be with youIf he had the timeSo you turn TO the only friend you can findThere in your mind

Shilo, when I was youngI used to call you nameWhen no one else would comeShilo, you always cameAnd we'd play

Counting the yearsKeeping my dreams to myselfYoung girl with fireSomething said she understoodI wanted to flyShe made me feel like I could

Held my hand out, and I let her take meBlind as a childAll I saw was the way that she made me smileShe made me smile

Shilo, when I was youngI used to call you nameWhen no one else would comeShilo, you always cameAnd you'd stay

Had a dream, and it filled me with wonderShe had other plans"Got to go, and I know that you'll understand"I understand

Shilo, when I was youngI used to call you nameWhen no one else would comeShilo, you always cameCome today
